You can also right click each linked file in the Navigator (after converting the master doc to a single document) and uncheck the Link check box. When you have 32 subdocs as I do, that's a bit tedious. But for smaller documents, it's not so bad.

Unfortunately, I can't save the result as a .ODT file; OOo only allows me to save it as a master doc (.ODM) file. However, I discovered that I could change the file extension to .ODT after saving as .ODM, so that's not a real problem. (My reason for wanting to have it as .ODT is that a different extension is likely to confuse some other people.) I will make a note about this "break links" technique in the master docs chapter. Thanks again! Now to check whether breaking the links fixes the randomly-wrong cross-references problem... --Jean
